  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SENDING CLAIM STATUS REQUESTS
    Publication number: 20230123979
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a smart claims status request system is provided. The system may be part of a medical claims clearinghouse where medical requests are received from medical providers for a plurality of payors. For each claim, statistics are collected such as the payor associated with the claim, the amount of time that the claim took to be processed by the payor, the amount of the claim, the medical provider associated with the claim, and the particular medical services associated with the claim. Based on the collected statistics, when a new claim is received by the clearing house, an expected handling time for the claim is determined. If the claim is not handled after the expected handling time, the system automatically sends a status request to the payor.
